Okay I wasn't going to do this but I'm bored as hell. For Christmas I got a CD burner (which we're either returning tomorrow or we're updating my windows to XP so it will work), Corel Draw ESSENTIALS which is just a new and compacted version of the Corel I have now. I also got lots of glossy photographic (or whatever) paper so I could print out my digital images on photo-quality paper. I printed out the principle image for this site (the background: "solidarity") and it looked amazing. Just like I had taken it with a real camera. I have this sudden desire to tell the world that digital is better. You can edit, delete, modify, resize...anything you can think of. It just makes for better pictures. Now with my camera, I'm concerned because the images aren't the "normal" size a picture should be (3 1/2 x 5, 4x6, 8x10, etc.) so I have to make allowances for that. I either have to crop the images, or deal with their unusual sizes, wasting paper. Santa gave boomer a present also. He got an awesome branch that I've been wanting to buy him since day one, but I haven't had the money. So, I've got about 20 blank CDs waiting to be burned and I can't do a thing with them. Ewe I ate so much the past few days, today though in particular. By about dinner time I had about had it with the day so I ate my noodles and then sat quietly while I focused on my "Already Always Listening" and, fluke or no, my grandfather actually made a joke that wasn't at someone else's expense. My parents made us breakfast this morning eggs, bacon, and pancakes. I had two pancakes. Then I had chips when my grandparents arrived around 4pm. Turkey noodles at 6:30pm (though I asked for only a little) and then a minor binge on chips and dip about an hour ago. I did get on the treadmill the other day. I walked fast paced at a 10% incline for about 5 or 10 minutes and then went back to what I was doing (giving the dog a bath). I think since I did it though, it'll be easier for me to get back into it again. My mother works tomorrow and my father and I are going to hit the stores. We have to return/exchange my CD burner, price internal memory (someone suggested 70gb to him!!) and ram. He said for what I wanted to do I'd need a Pentium 4 but I can't have that so I don't get why he felt he needed to tell me that. He was loud and obnoxious tonight. Tormenting my cousin and all of us. Well, I need to go to sleep if I plan on getting up early.
